Using a new, noninvasive nose swab test, researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have for the first time detected multiple asthma subtypes in children with the condition.
Asthma is the most common chronic respiratory disease in children around the world, said Juan Celedon, highlighting its significant impact and prevalence among affected populations.
Findings indicate that the newly identified asthma subtypes may explain why current treatments often fail, underscoring the need for personalized medicine approaches.
The researchers aim to expand their study's findings to adapt treatments for other asthma patients, similar to the tailored strategies used in breast cancer therapy.
